    Looks pretty good. I'm honestly surprised they haven't put out anyone that was anti-cascade yet. Specifically I mean, not just someone like Wanda.

    Blob is, actually, but he's only a 4★. He's on my short list to Ascend -- I've seen a 4|5 Blob in the wild and he's pretty effective when boosted.

    Namor looks pretty good. Great with MThor (she plays well with so many teams,) but also pretty much anyone who destroys tiles and makes cascades.

    I feel like character maybe an instead of Shang Chi character.

    In pick 3 mthor, 5namor, (agatha or 4 may)

    P5 is complete! Good release store too, although I'd rather have Magik in it than Emma.

    Running Agatha makes everyone a mini shang, so you'll still get a multiplier effect but across two characters instead of one. I like Agatha's kit a lot, will def be one of the first I try with namor.

    I just champed my 4 Star Namor just in case he is a feeder/secondary feeder for the 5 star Namor

    Namor already feeds Odin, but so does Angela now. Thematically, Namora could feed 5★ Namor but she already feeds Okoye, so either way they'd be changing a feeder.

    In general, they've gone with themselves - at this point I don't think there's a single 4★ that doesn't feed at least one of its 5★ versions.

    Offensively, Agatha is quite a bit better than MThor; unless it's against Strange or someone you need to passively destroy special tiles. It's "cross your fingers and hope for a cascade after a couple turns" VS "lets just start the match going infinite and make us all stronger while I do it... and true heal us because magic". She of course is significantly worse on defense, but I would immediately try this guy with Agatha (or both because black and green).

    Acquire or start with 3 blue, start the infinite (much faster with Car and Hotdog Stand) all of those cascades are double buffed by both characters AND his now 3ap red will also destroy Agathas very spammed pink repeaters for big damage plus a cheap black that also gets stronger with your infinite? Count me in. If this guy had blue as his strongest color he would for sure be her best friend (due to Krakoa).

    Love the kit on paper and can't wait to play it. He might not be great without infinites and heavy cascaders though (which is ok). Seemingly great work on both versions team.

    If I had him earlier that damned ascended Ikarus would have been much less annoying. It would have been awesome (and fit the text of the ability) if it not only hit them, but brought them back down to the ground.

    Does cascade damage still get less and less within a turn? Is this just counteracting that, or is that going away?

    Could be a solid counter to Leapfrog. That alone is nice.

    Remember you have to destroy tiles not match them in cascades.

    Half Thor will be great too since he can feed the red as part of his destruction.

    That green... i forsee many crazy 1-turn wipe with cheapThor (aka mThor) on defense... urgh...

    Ph5 is complete. Woohoo! Now all we need is Hope Summers as a 5 with Phoenix force affiliation.

    As far as the kit, it looks good. I wonder if the % on the green tacks on with each match in the cascade or it’s just fixed.

    Powers are cheap too. That red can get real cheap.

    How does Namor relate to the Seeking Saylum clue?

    The timing of that red passive will be interesting. At level 5 when it destroys 3 columns, it probably reduces the cost first, then increases it.

    I thought matching tiles counted as a way to destroy them.

    Does it?

    We all know wording is funny in their descriptions. But given his other 2 powers specifically rely on or destroy tiles as part of their effects I would imagine the destroy (passive part of the Black) means via powers and not match damage.

    Otherwise the wording could be simplified to be tiles removed which is the sum of matched + destroyed and would make that Black power very OP since there is no cap.
